Natural Handmade Soap "Mosaic Mint"

I've seen other soap ladies use "pieces" from previous batches as imbeds; Jen @Naturalmente Mediterraneo and AYU @ Tokyo Factory come to mind immediately. This is only my second batch done this way, but I'm happy with the result! For some reason the pics all turned out a bit "fuzzy"...not sure why, but after many attempts and much gnashing of teeth I have given up for today!

Hi Jen, To me it's very similar to peppermint in scent, but I find that a combination of mint oils tends to "hold" better in my soap recipe. If I use straight peppermint, for instance, it seems to fade on me. :)

I just came across your blog and I absolutely love your creative soaps. Have you ever considered using Mafura Butter for your soap making? I am a supplier of Mafura Butter currently focusing on homemade natural soap manufacturers. You can read about Mafura Butter, its African origins and its uses on our website www.phytoafrica.com We have received some really positive feedback from people who have used it to make soap.
